The third and last one is on March 7 against the Penguins, for Luc Robitaille, where he will be the second Kings player to be honored with a statute in front of Staples Center.

I like nothing about games against the Wings. Especially in Detroit, but they'll always come up with a shorthanded goal, or a late 3rd period PP goal to win the game when playing in LA. I'm prepared for a frustrating loss, but hope for the best.
At least when teams do the Anaheim/LA back-to-back trip, it's not ALWAYS the Kings first, Ducks second -- remember a few years ago the Ducks ALWAYS got the 2nd half of the back-to-back, where the Kings always got the fresh team?
Nice to see that at least this time.
I have NO clue what it means for a result. I don't know the game of hockey, is what I've learned from watching this season's team.

Pretty soon Staples is going to be hard to get into because you'll have to navigate a sea of statues to get into the place. I think they've gone a bit overboard with the statues. Maybe they ought to put them around the whole building instead of just the main entrance? When is Mikko Makela getting his statue?
who all do they have now? I know Wayne and Luc. Wayne is a no brainer, and Luc deserves it IMO as he still holds the NHL record for goals by a LW does he not?
eventually Ovie will get that record

Maybe as an Edmonton Oiler. Giving him a statue in front of Staples Center was a bit of a head scratcher for a lot of fans.
there are some who credit Wayne for the popularity of hockey in California. As I do not live there i cannot comment to this

Reset in progress
I think of 2001
He made A LOT of people on the west coast Kings fans and fans of the game. I feel like people nowadays try to downplay what he did for some reason.

There are a bunch of non-Kings there as well.
Come on man... you can disagree with the Gretzky trade from a hockey perspective but marginalizing what he did for the game in non-traditional hockey markets makes you look silly. Wayne played for the Kings for 8 seasons. He had got them closer to a Cup than anyone before him. The Kings become the hot ticket overnight. My dad, a big hockey fan, didn't take me to a game until Gretzky arrived because he had no interest in driving us all the way to nasty Inglewood before that. Roller hockey didn't exist in LA prior to Gretzky's arrival and was flourishing by the time he was moved out. Gretzky is directly responsible for the number of CA born players now being drafted by NHL teams. He absolutely deserves to be recognized from the franchise for those accomplishments.

A huge congrats to Luc for finally getting that statue. He certainly deserves it. Gretz never did play at Staples and Luc did.
Another thing about Luc; being French, he spoke very little English when he came to the Kings. He lived with Marcell and was schooled by him until he mastered the English language. A guy who always succeeded in whatever goal he set for himself. Can't give Luc enough praise, imo.

I didn't know Marcel tutored him.
Dionne doesn't get the recognition as a king he probably deserves.

Put up a statue for Wayne in front of the Shark Tank and Ponda Center then.
I don't think he was the Kings' "savior".

you agree you were marginalizing his effect on non-traditional hockey markets?

I really think Dionne deserves a statue.
Also prrof that+/- means very little as gretz is a -5 as a king

Good then you agree with the statue. AEG owns the Staples center, not the Los Angeles Kings.
Gretzky played for the Kings for 8 season. He didn't play for the Ducks or the Sharks or any other non-traditional hockey market. Why is it a head scratcher that AEG would recognize a former player for his impact on the game?
